BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--It might have been dropped from the official name, but don’t get it twisted - the donut obsession is real at Dunkin’ and runs deep in the brand’s history. As the largest donut and coffee brand in America, Dunkin’ is fueling the dreams of all donut lovers in celebration of National Donut Day by offering a free donut with every beverage purchase on Friday, June 7.
Along with enjoying their free donut, guests can dive into the festivities in multiple ways—from discovering how one of country music’s biggest stars, Jelly Roll, enjoys his Dunkin’, to shopping a new donut-inspired merch drop on ShopDunkin.com, and even grabbing a one-of-a-kind Dunkin’ x Scrub Daddy sponge to make everyday household chores a little more cheerful. Dunkin’ has something sweet for everyone!
A Perfect Pairing
To remind guests what the holiday is all about, Dunkin’ is teaming up with Jelly Roll in a new video. In it, he shares the true story behind his iconic name (hint: his childhood love of jelly donuts) and his favorite ways to enjoy donuts from Dunkin’. Guests can tune in to Instagram and TikTok to perfect their donut order and dunking technique.

- “Jelly” Hoodie ($40): A super soft pink hoodie, perfect for jelly donut enthusiasts—even if they aren’t named after a jelly donut!

Sprinkle Fun into Everyday Routines
Donuts add a bit of joy to life, so why not bring that same fun to household chores? Dunkin’ has partnered with Scrub Daddy to create the first-ever Dunkin’ Scrub Daddy and Scrub Mommy sponges. Now available at ScrubDaddy.com, these limited-edition donut-shaped sponges blend Dunkin’s playful spirit with Scrub Daddy’s practical effectiveness, making household chores a bit more cheerful.

At Dunkin’, Every Day is Donut Day!
